About

Dr. Katyayani Singh is a pioneering surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of endocrine surgery and minimally invasive robotics. Her primary research focuses on the surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), with a particular emphasis on the challenging subset of ectopic parathyroid glands. Dr. Singh’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating and advancing robotic approaches for resecting these aberrant glands, which often reside in the anterior mediastinum and are notoriously difficult to access via traditional open surgery. Her landmark systematic review, "Robotic Resection of an Ectopic Parathyroid Gland," has already garnered early citations, signaling its importance in shaping clinical guidelines. By demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic techniques for this complex pathology, Dr. Singh is helping to reduce rates of persistent or recurrent pHPT caused by missed ectopic glands. Her work not only refines surgical precision but also offers patients less invasive options with faster recovery. As a rising authority in robotic endocrine surgery, Dr. Singh is poised to transform how surgeons approach parathyroid disease, making her research essential reading for any clinician or trainee navigating the intricacies of parathyroid localization and resection.
